...none of that song’s charm. “Radio Cure” is another example of a song better left in the studio. Its dissonant chordal structure and hushed vocals are buried in the bustle of live performance, making its inclusion here incongruous. An energetic closing salvo of “Oh distance has a way/of making love understandable” partially redeems the cut, but can’t save it from redundancy. Tweedy himself is captivatingly mysterious, alternately capable of whispering fragments of poetry and screaming vocal hooks, the consummate enigmatic band leader...
Before he arrived in China, the President took some swipes at Beijing. Giving a speech in Japan on what aides call his "freedom agenda" for Asia, he lauded Taiwan for democratic advances and urged mainland China to yield to citizens who want to "worship without state control."

The win was the first season-opening victory...

The group sounded flat and uninterested, a problem exacerbated by the choice of material, with several tracks from their recent sub-par LP “Love Kraft.” The opening salvo of songs all blended together into a morass of undistinguished low-key Beach Boys homage. The Furries’ trademark has always been their eccentricities, but here the music seemed positively average, and the quirky presentation came across as more silly than innovative. While their previously preferred mode of entrance was an honest...
